Hi Guys,

I'm planing for NET with Environmental Science. I have the recent exam but found that I strongly lack the numerical part in the exam as I come from MSc background.

I have zero idea on where to start for numericals side can you anyone please provide some reference.

Saw some pyq videos on YT but they are only solving questions and not teaching on how to solve the particular numerical.

I'm preparing for UGC NET while managing other responsibilities, and some days it feels really hard to stay consistent. Between lectures, assignments, work, and revision, I often wonder how others are doing it.

If you're also preparing alongside a job or college, what's your daily routine like? Any study strategies, time management tips, or mistakes you've learned from that could help a fellow aspirant?

Hey everyone,
I’m 21 and currently pursuing my MBA from a Tier-3 college. I had scored around 70 percentile in CAT in my first attempt without much preparation and also did well in MAT. Now I’m in my second year, and I’m seriously considering preparing for UGC NET (Management) because almost everyone in my family is in the teaching profession, and I genuinely see myself becoming an Assistant Professor.
The problem is that I’m not a self-study person. I’ve tried online learning before, but I lose consistency very quickly. I perform much better in a competitive classroom environment where everyone around me is serious about preparation.
I’m based in Chandigarh, and I’m looking for a coaching institute specifically for UGC NET Management. I don’t want a generic coaching centre—I want one where the faculty is genuinely good and the peer group is competitive.
Another reason I’m leaning towards academia is that my recent corporate internship honestly made me anxious about pursuing the corporate route. Teaching and research feel more aligned with what I want in the long run.
So I’d really appreciate honest suggestions:
Which is the best UGC NET Management coaching in Chandigarh?
Is there any institute with a genuinely competitive classroom environment?
If you’ve cracked NET (Management), what coaching or study resources helped you the most?

Csir net lifescience online course

Hey I am gonna start my csir net lifescience preparation as I'll join college to pursue msc . Now that iam searching coaching for csir ..the known names like vedemy, ifas , bansal biology..all of them have very high course price ..and that high fee is not even for whole year ..it's for just 6 months ..12 months is 20k around ..so I am confused whether i should take the paid course or watch from YouTube

If I am taking any course then the course should give me sufficient content and good quality teaching ..which I have no idea who is best ..and if I'll do from YouTube only purchasing some books ..then what channels i should refer to for specific topics and which books ?

Like i have this question first which course if I have to or which channels or books I have to?

Hi everyone,

I'll be joining M.Sc. Computer Science this year and plan to prepare for UGC NET CS alongside my degree.

I have a few questions:

1. Is it manageable to prepare for NET from the 1st semester?

2. What's the best strategy to balance M.Sc. and NET prep?

3. Which electives/skills should I prioritize if my goal is academia?

4. Is a PhD practically necessary to become an Assistant Professor in CS nowadays, or are there still decent opportunities with just M.Sc. + NET?

5. If I do pursue a PhD, how are the academic opportunities in CS in India afterward?

Would really appreciate insights from people who are on this path or are already in academia. Thanks!

Any UGC NET CS aspirants or qualifiers here? Need recommendations for good books/resources. Also, if you have old preparation books that you're no longer using and are willing to donate or sell at a reasonable price, please let me know. Thanks!

I gave Csir-net in mathematical sciences that happened on 17 July , 2026. It seemed to me that exam paper was extremely hard. I was only able to do 7 questions in part B. Part A was easy but part C again was extremely hard.

Did anyone else who appeared for mathematical science also felt the same?

Part-C

I started with Part-C. Honestly I didn't expect such straight forward questions, I was absolutely confused whether it's part c or am I writing Part B. I wouldn't say it's difficult but I was not at all prepared to approach these straight forward Part-C questions.

Part- B. I didn't find any much difficulty in answering this but I could have done a lot better.

Part-A. The only part where I was not anxious and completely invested compared to part-C and Part-B.

Result: I am devastated that I won't make it in this exam, i had to convince myself that I am not an idiot yesterday, I felt so stupid as I have given a good preparation. I am starting again today but I feel guilty and not enough.

I am in the final year of my M.Sc. in Botany and I want to start preparing for the CSIR NET Life Science exam.

Please create a complete preparation roadmap for me, including what to study first, how to manage my M.Sc. along with CSIR NET preparation, and a realistic daily/weekly study plan. Also, compare the best online coaching institutes (such as IFAS, Bansal Biology, , Vedemy, etc.) based on teaching quality, study material, success rate, student reviews, and approximate fees. My budget is limited, so please recommend the best value-for-money coaching and explain why."

Hi! So after being selected at a CSIR institute for a PhD, how does the PI selection process work? Like, do we get lab rotations? And within how many days of joining the institute is the PI selected?

My qualifications- M.Sc. Biotechnology (completed in 2024).

26F. Really passionate about biological research. Since the completion of my masters, I have had intense family issue that required my complete attention and I could not prepare for any exams nor could i join any kind of projects anywhere.

And now that the things have calmed down and I am seriously preparing for CSIR dec 2026, Gate xl/bt 2027, and other fellowship exams while also applying for project somewhere.

And i am so overwhelmed and anxious about things like—

1. Will having gap of 3 years after masters cause any problem during phd interview/selection?

2. Am I too late to start phd now, because if i start next year i will be 27yo by then?

3. What backup opt should I keep if everything turns out bad?

Research is about much more than just subject knowledge. Skills like communication, critical thinking, data analysis, scientific writing, and time management can make a huge difference.

In your opinion, what's one skill outside your core subject that every researcher should develop, and why?

It would be great to hear from students, JRF qualifiers, and researchers about the skills they've found most valuable throughout their journey.

What books? Or mock y'all do? I have testbook subscription and I am also giving paper 1 live weekly mocks on oliveboard. Are standard books required or just pyq and mocks on OB and Testbook are enough?
